I hurt my back when I was 20. 14 MMA fights and 20 years of concrete and tree work and it's starting to bother me. Honestly what got me through it all. Stretching and ice baths. They suck and are easier with the wim hof method. Never taken pain pills. Not even ibprofin or Tylenol. Also had sponsorship from a chiropractor. He did MRI and x rays. Said the stretching helped keep me from being first person he seen who didn't have there bones fuse together. Gotta keep moving and keep circulation going in those areas. You stop and your in trouble.
14 years and I'm still suffering. had an accident on the job November 2003, haven't been the same since. now for the last 2 months I've been suffering leg weakness and buckling when I walk. MRI isn't until February. this pain and weakness are impossible.
Dr. Corenman can answer any questions related to this video at his forum: askspinedoc.com

I just want to remove my entire lower back bones. I’m only 18 but I can’t remember a time where I haven’t had lower back pain. It hurts so much and I’m a waiter so long days on my feet make it work and there are days where I can’t even get out of bed because of how much my lower back hurts.
are you any better now?? if yes tell me what you did please!!🙏🙏
i know hun its painfull and you feel alone
The risk of adjacent segment disease should've been mentioned. I saw a video of a randomized study done and over the course of a 7 year period close to 1/3 of surgical patients were affected by ASD, eventually leading to fusions of adjacent vertebrae. Artificial Disk Replacements in comparison, had only a 10% chance. That's a 3:1 ratio.
Where is this hospital. My brother also suffering from the same for last two years.
Yeah, my dad has the exact same thing expect his 1 disc is gone, and other ones all most, and he can't have surgery cause theirs a lot of crap. True and there's no going back.
I had three fusion surgeries at this clinic with Dr Corenman. I do not recommend him. 15 years later I am still suffering horribly.
What's problem with u now in this time
I Hear this a lots about fusion , everybody chemistry is Different , what might work for him might not work for you , all these Doctors are see Root canal , they rather let your cavity rot your teeth so they can Bill you for the root canal and the NICE CROWN.
Hi Michelle. I'm so sorry to hear this all. I really hope that you are still active here and see my message.
I really want to know what happened with your fusion? I mean at what level you had it? And why? It was a trauma back injury or you had it just due to poor genetics
@@makeupbykhani8178 I was in a dirt bike accident. Im fused from T2 thru T12 and C3 thru C6. The amount of pain I have in a day is horrible. I usually am a 10 out of 10 when i wake up ...till my oral meds start working. Some doctors say I should not continue to be in pain since my last fusion was five years ago. Others are amazed that I have any quality of life. Corenman did the initial fusion, then took everything out 2 years later. 6 months after that he refused everything. I kept following his advice. IDK
@@michellesmith8651 I'm so sorry but have they pinpointed that what the issue is?? I mean is this pain coming from hardware?
I had this surgery done in 2011 when I was 24. I tried everything including physical therapy, massages, acupuncture, and the dreadful cortisone injections. It's not as bad as it seems. I was given one year of disability which I think I went back to work on light duty four months later. The thing is is that after you have the surgery you have to realize you are limited! No picking up heavy stuff, no doing crazy activity. I used to snowboard and run constantly and now my workout routine is just walking. My back only hurts right before it's going to rain. I usually just take some OTC pain meds and I'm fine. The worst part of the surgery is just getting used to the feeling of metal in your back. I could feel it for a few months and it bugged me but that's it! All in all if you need the surgery find a very good surgeon like I did and get it done! You just need to realize you have to live a life limited from crazy running and lifting.

Jackie Sullivan yes man,I did surgery also Sam feelings
Jackie Sullivan who was your doctor?
I had an apendesis surgery but this is a very serious surgery study
I already had lower back lumbar spine fusion I dont want another surgery again and I hope my doctor will understand and respect my wishes
Fusion? What's that
I have to do lower back stretches immediately upon getting out of bed every morning, and it helps for that day only until I sleep again. I'm like a cripple when I first get up, after the stretches I'm fine, although I can tell there's a problem there, it doesn't prevent me from whatever I have to do that day. Bending over stiffens my back again, but it goes away if I'm not doing it too long. I've been doing this now for several years. I don't think there is a way my back will heal itself, and I guess if it keeps getting worse I'll need some sort of intervention; I will try to avoid medications though.
I have the same symptoms as you, when I get up in the morning I can't even dress myself or wash my face as the pain is so bad , I force myself to stay on my feet with leaning on something & massage my lower back till I can stand without help ,after 10 to 15 minutes I can get ready & start to feel better as the morning goes on ,I'm waiting for x-ray results next week
@@ritab8268 Hi Rita, sorry to hear of your back problems, I know how bad they can be. I have refused previa and other such drugs as I know they build brittle bone and do not help with mortality. They can also cause very bad side effects, so I just take vitamins D3, K2, magnesium, also B complex, folic acid, and also, calcium caps (3x a week only), and only after dinner separately as calcium interferes with magnesium. Mag is the element that helps with bone strengthening. With me it is hips and back, and I can say that if you do stretches, which are very hard at first, they get easier with time, and you might see a lessening of bone loss, and perhaps reversal. Some weight resistance is recommended, but only do as you feel you can. Also the stretches are for herniations to free up the spinal nerves. Good luck to you, don't give up.
@@ritab8268 I feel the exact same and it’s only gotten worse in the last 6 months and I’m only 19 which scares me even more
@@austinfoster6765 sorry t hear that buddy , hw are you now
@@bakojabar2262 well it’s still the same and maybe a little worse. But as of last week I just started physical therapy, and I could be crazy, but some of the exercises I’m doing are kinda of reducing the pain. Gotta give it about a few months before I really know if it’s helping though. Thanks for asking though, if you remind me in a few months lol I’ll reply with hopefully good news lol. Cause boy does it suck.
The Sudden Shift to a full blown commercial threw me off 😂
We don't have these great drs in Florida help.
I got insured in 2005 but I didn't experience pain till 2008 ND I'm still in pain ND it's 2022 it's to the point tht I have DDD degenerative disc decease which cause the pain to shoot dwn my left leg thtz called sciatica. I cnt walk more than 2miles without taking a break I cnt stand over a stove or stand in the shower for long periods of time... I tried everything you can think of PT injections, acupuncture, chiropractor, pain management even spend tons of money on a massage parlor which in fact was the only thing that took a lot of tention from my body... Any who so now I'm considering surgery but I hear nothing but horror stories from those tht had back surgery. I'm thinking about it tho cause I'm tired of living in pain I'm only 44. HELP!!!
Don't do surgery I'm paraplegic
I wish I had insurance...
My husband supposedly “makes too much” money for payment assistance, but yet if I get insurance for myself our mortgage wouldn’t get paid. So I’m other words I’m screwed

Hello sir. My disc L4-L5. My years 25. Will parliament recover after the surgery. Sir do you have to exercise after the surgery.
i'm 18, I've had back pain for about 10 years after i had an injury to my spine. i see a MSK specialist and an MRI.. results was a lump on the lower part of my spine, i was referred to a physiotherapist and now have been discharged as my movements reduced. I've been told the next step is injections containing a high dosage of pain relief and in the meantime if i do vigorous movements i will have to have a emergency operation.. can you tell me if this is necessary?
I dunno how old this video is bc they have been doing fusion to vertebrae/spine decades ago. Or was offered to me when I started to have chronic pain after breaking some bones in my spine and nothing else was tried I had brief physio but pain stayed. Other than epidural shots into the spine at only 17 yrs of age, i was offered fusion of entire lower back. Of course someone who was very flexible and gymnastic as well ballet was my life prior to that since I was only 4 I couldn’t imagine not having that flexibility permanently if they fused it. I want offered any other treatment and my back got severely bad narrower nerve spaces level 3 degenerative sick disease to now none to bone and severe sharp shooting never pain down my legs I’m on strongest opioids but no help to nerve type pain. Strange they throw pills at me but they refuse to try anything else there are many procedures but not in Canada and US sadly. Only Germany Australia & multiple European countries offer advanced procedures to actually help or prevent the problems from because wise rather than just numbing it with various pills which eventually do the reverse and send more pain signals so basically not do they just stop working BUT they give more pain. They recently did studies After many long time and big dosage opioid patients reported severe pain while on opioids and increased with dosage increase. Or was mind boggling to me how this can happen but it’s a proven fact now that this indeed does eventually happen and yet they still throw pills they do not solve ANY problems when our spines knees and other degenerative diseases which could of been prevented from getting out of control and just waiting game until bone to bone pinched nerve point in so severe i can no longer do anything and nothing can be done to at least make the pain somewhat livable at least. Contemplated the worse quite a few times bc I can’t live with this and I’m told i I have to bc it’s going to get worse off this possible and there’s NOTHING they can do. FDA does not approve higher standard health care that are actually available in our country. I’d say Canada and US are at third country level when it comes to our health care no joke. I can’t afford $100’s of thousands of dollars buddy to have the surgery or procedures that are available in another country plus it’s kind of late for that but luckily other countries even offer the rejuvenation of completely worn out disks as well inserting a new disk material that they can grow in a lab. Then even do this on dogs when disk and hip problems and we can’t even offer it to ppl handicapped for their entire life when something big pharma refuses to k k et us have approved and do here in North America, because they manner so much money on opioids antidepressant and other masking type meds that people end up dying from eventually but no one sends to care about that am about $$ and politics here.
Understood, to many surgeries a former Attorney now paraplegic.
Hope all is well. What did you end up doing, more pain management or surgery?
What for disc bulge is dengerous ..and his only cure by surgery?
make sure to ask is this approach is f.d.a. approved.and how the bone will be fused.
Dr. Spinal cord injury how to recovery. From. North East India Manipur. Medicine?
Invasive or non invasive , a surgery is not an option. I have suffered from a disk hernia for the last 18 years. Low sugar intake, low gluten intake, turmeric, fish oil, lot of stretching, teeter hung up machine, lot of water, low upper body weight.. these are the stuff that kept me out of pain. I am looking into stem cell or prolotherapy procedure hopping to get that disk back to it original shape.. good luck
I would be careful for anyone with ruptured disk or bolging disk 1 surgery the surgeon took out two disk and did not replace them. I need another surgery now to put in disc after three years. I been going back to the surgeon that did it over the last three years. It took 4 doctors later and three years to know what they did to me. Anyone having back surgery should get proof of they did to u
Three years 4 doctors
How do you get proof I felt like something gone wrong with my surgery
Some one can tell me how much can cost for this surgery plz 🙏
Buddy in Europe it's expensive. While in asia it's cheaper.
Rhode Island will give you insurance if you really want surgery. But I'm paraplegic. DON'T DO IT.
fusions with no insurance can easily run between 80k - 200k depending where the state the procedure is done in. thats just one level
Since this is considered a fusion, will this procedure cause strain on the neighboring discs, ultimately leading to intervention on those discs??? Also, how is the technology for artificial disc replacement for the lumbar region progressing????
Yes it creates a domino effect. The doctors seemingly never mention this unless you bring it up.
Disc dont heal?
Can remove these screws ore no after some years. Please reply me

anyway i can get ya to look at some of my xrays and let me know what ya think? had them done for ssi and i have a copy of them but they wouldn't give me results.
I do not understand how can Fusion still be used in the medical field? It to me seems very archaic and outdated. The moment you prevent a section of the spine from moving that means you alter that area and very harrowing repercussions will come after. Orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons should work for a better procedure or technique or better surgical device.
Exactly and pain is never gone this is a crock

docs do it because of its familiarity with the procedure. I agree, doctors need to stop slacking and acquire knowledge with newer technology that's more sparing to the spine, like artificial disk replcements.

How it go???
My mother had an MRI in Jan this year.Its been reported that the effective canal diameter at L3-4 and L5-S1 levels is 20mm and 14.5mm respectively where a mild bulge is seen which it says is causing mild bilateral neural recess narrowing with compression over traversing nerve roots at these levels.It further concludes: changes of lumbar spondylosis and grade II anterolisthesis at L5-S1.Is this situation serious enough for a surgery and will this be TLIFF.I wonder how much it will cost in INDIA
Could you tell me a update ?did your mom have surgery?
very informative

Does this Dr actually call his patients 'humanoids' at 1:53. This video is very misleading and paints the picture to be a very daunting picture of how weak the back is. Where is the evidence to say the back does not heal? It heals just like the skin with scarring, so it isn't the same tissue as before but it still heals.. why wouldn't it heal?
The disc does not heal as it is avascular - there are no blood vessels and no nutrient supply. The disc can 'skin over' and the nucleus material can re-absorb (primarily an immune system response), but a herniated disc is weak forever and the statistics of same-level re-herniation bear that out. That being said, 85% or more of disc patients can manage without surgery - and even a spinal surgeon will not want to operate if the disc is absorbing. However, 'without surgery' means a daily exercise routine, and permanent restrictions on lifting, bending, etc. Slack off, and 'pop'. A sobering thought is that around a quarter of conservatively-treated discs require surgery within 10 or so years. The situation is worse if you have a congenital issue, for example, a sacralised L5. This is a congenital fusion and puts the motion segment above in a similar risk as having an L5/S1 fusion surgically. Mine lasted 42 years but now L4/L5 is gone. It has been 'bad' for about 15 years but I did the exercises and restrictions but still, my time is up for that disc. It definitely does not 'heal' like other parts of your body and I have a CT and MRI record of that. The other thing to consider is that nerve compression can cause axon death in your nerves, and they definitely won't heal either. Fortunately we are built with a lot of reserve signalling but avoiding permanent nerve damage is one other reason surgery is indicated. Yes, surgery *may* damage the nerves, but the surgeon and patient should weigh the risk of permanent nerve loss vs. risk of surgery to come up with the best possible treatment plan.
dale116dot7 Well not all of the disc is considered to be avascular, so not entirely true. If a herniated disc is weak forever and some new studies (McCullough BJ, 2012) suggest 56% of people WITHOUT back pain have a herniation and 32% a protrusion, then that is a lot of people walking around with "weak backs". There are no studies identifying who should be operated on looking at an 'absorption rate' otherwise they would get it correct every time. Again, there is no truth about a daily exercise plan being required to maintain a healthy back. In fact there is no relationship between strength and disc herniations to date. This is a myth. Where are these stats from? a 1/4 of non operated discs require surgery in 10 years? Which longitudinal study shows this? I agree with your last sentence but that is about it. MRI scans show changes in the back many of which are normal (www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1209250). They can't predict how much pain you will have and certainly don't tell you if it is weak. There is no correlation between weakness and pain. Again many people have anomalies such as sacralisation which give them no pain. It's your belief system that keeps the problem going not the tissue.
Regarding your last point, sacralisation with no pain - yes, I was pain-free from that but when the disc above herniates into two nerve roots then I have pain and a problem - and the likelihood appears to be higher with LSTV than not (Konin, Walz and their references 5, 8, and 15). Regarding strength vs. herniations - after my first herniation (18 years ago), a specific exercise program seemed to be able to keep the symptoms 'at bay' but the instant I did anything wrong - skipping a few days of stretches, moving incorrectly, lifting something too heavy that I used to be able to lift pre-herniation - I had a flare-up of L5/S1 leg pain. Sample size 1, but that has been *my* experience but also the experience of quite a number of my friends with back issues. With regards to an MRI predicting pain, I totally agree. Sometimes you have a totally smashed-in nerve that is completely asymptomatic and the next one is a tiny herniation not even touching the nerve root and the leg is 'on fire'. I've had both at different times. And repeated same-level herniation, I've had at least three conservatively-treated ones at the same level, so at least in my case, a 'healed' disc appears to be 'weaker' than a normal one. Multiple studies show around a 20% same-level re-herniation rate.
dale116dot7 When you say weaker, then I think you reword to sensitive, as that would be more appropriate. Weaker would imply that you keep doing more damage as it gives out/ is damaged etc. If the MRI is not that helpful with understanding pain then perhaps whether the disc is bulged, protruding or even sequestrated is not that relevant, to the point that you have even experienced this yourself. This has more to do with your nervous system that the actual structural changes that you are very fixed on. I think the statement should be, once a disc is injured it can feel injured again easily, even if it isn't, and that goes for any part of the body. Explain Pain Lorimer Moseley
To me it seems like both - it seems to be more sensitive in that it is relatively easy to provoke pain in the disc (that makes sense if the scar tissue is well-innervated) and I expect my 'small flare-ups' is me misinterpreting the data, thanks for giving a more plausible explanation of pain that only lasts a few days or weeks - that makes a lot of sense. But it also seems 'weaker' in that only that disc 'gives out' quite a bit easier than all of the others. My 2004 CT showed a small contained herniation with some fairly minor (still painful) traversing L5 compression; this subsided conservatively but no images were taken after (so I don't know if the nerves just adjusted to their new neighbour or what) until another bad flare-up that hasn't gone away for about 8 months. My 2014 MRI showed a 10mm by 12mm herniation/extrusion without sequestration with a much more pronounced L5 compression (the nerve root is pretty flattened) and also 'barely contacting' L4.
I just found out that I have a disk that is completely gone what should I do for it?
I recently had my right leg go numb and dead on me when and had a MRI and found out I had 3 compressed discs in my lower back . Then I went from a cane to a walker and now in a wheelchair . I need rehab to get my legs stronger but wonder on surgery . Im in no pain yet though my legs do ache when lying down . Steroids did help but doctors refuse to give them to me again which makes me wonder that they want me to get surgery . Anyone else had this problem that can give their since I think I can get back on my feet without surgery .
Just keep pushing, don't do surgery I'm paraplegic to many surgeries.
would like to introduce the group to a new patient advocacy group- International Spine Patient Advocacy combines spine surgery patients, surgeons, medical professionals and industry to advocate for medically indicated spine surgery and insurance reimbursement. check us out at spine patient advocacy, membership for patients is complimentary, after all it is for the patient we are doing this.
spial nneed for back pain
I was in a car accident that I was hit, rear needed. I went forward and backward and had whiplash. I have been having pain in lower back that is getting worse and with pain down my leg. How long does this pain stay and I know it's L4 and L5. If I move alot or sit I continuelly have pain.
Did you figure out your problem. I just got hurt and curious
You both are suffering from Sciatic nerve problems, the cushion between the disc's are worn out. The only option is surgery or it'll get worse you must free up the pressing of the disc on the nerve which is the S-I joint.

Hi, i hve had an open sugery on L4 L5 in 2012 , im still recovering,i still hve foot drop ,wat do u suggest.thks in adv
I have foot drop I'm paraplegic now
please help me where is this Hospital
I write out of pure curiosity because I have literally tried every single thing I could find to do for my lumbar spine and my cervical spine.I fell out the back of a service truck 30 years ago this year I landed on my tailbone from a height of about 9 feet ..I have multiple herniations with nerve entrapment .I have been suffering every single day since my fall.I have been disabled and in chronic pain every day.I'm not sure if you could do anything for me at this point.My employer wouldn't approve corrective surgery and my condition has only gotten worse.I never returned to work and I am very limited and I worry about what's to come.I was 32 when I fell and I am 62 this year.I think it must be too late now for any intervention .My nerve damage is at the point where I have to deal with every conceivable symptom a person could have.I am way past my wits end.What can I do at this point? My life has been totally ruined and missed out on everything a man could dream of,like marriage,children,my own business,and so on.I still get mad from time to time knowing that my employer didn't care enough about my injury to fix the problems I deal with.
rockymontana1 should have filled a case against your employer not sure where your from but most cases have to be brought forward within two years. Sound similar to what I have I also feel from back of a truck you need to go see a spine specialist they will fix you
I am an Attorney, you would've been compensated. Weekly checks, pressure on his insurance company to approve surgery, a plif would have helped you then. A Posterior lumbar interbody fusion. Now it's late I'm sorry my friend. I had to many surgeries I'm now paralyzed. Careful what you wish for.
I have had a partial discectomy of my L4-L5 already, which left me with nerve damage. My MRI last week shows that the disc bulge at the L5-S1 is larger than it was 7 months ago, and is again pressing on my nerve. I now have spinal stenosis, and have had DDD for a while. This sounds great, but I worry about fusing....
+Tonya Cabral Since my original post, I have had 4 caged put in my back, 3 metal rods, and 8 screws....I had to have all of this done due to my first surgery. I am 33 years old. I wish I would have never had the first surgery done. the doctor that did my initial surgery messed my back up horribly bad....
+Tonya Cabral You are right on with that!!! We are dollar signs and paychecks to SO many of them! I hope things straighten out for you, Tonya! Beat of luck to you!
+Tonya Cabral Same here! 2700mg a day. It's ridiculous!! I am a nurse, but have been unable to work since April 2013 (just before my 1st surgery). Likelihood of me being able to use my nursing degree again....seriously unlikely...
Don't do a fusion if you can avoid it! I have had the fusion done, and it is horrible...

I have pain up and down m right leg and feel numb in my foot, but I have never had any back pain at all. The pain starts in my buttok area and goes down my leg. At times in my groin area also
I had similar symptoms but not in the groin area.i recently had an MRI and it was a herniated disc so it could be what you have
I to have the same kind of pain myself
VWGTI I also have the same symptoms as yours, big likely the nerve root which may be suffered looking at the dermatomes is the root of nerve of L5-S1. the best way to find out is through MRI

Sancheti hospital Pune or Deena Nath Mangeskar hospital are best for your treatment. They have expert Dr. for Spine.
If you still have the disc problem l5 s1. I highly recomend you to get surgery done from bangalore itself as i did the same resently. It is 100% sucessfull in my case.

Too positive there has to be negatives 4-6 months if your life recovering up to two years. How many can afford to be off their job that long?
NEVER HAVE BACK SURGERY! EVER!
Frank Abler Have you ever had a compressed nerve root?
As im suffering with 5 herniated discs in my neck, unbelievable pain all over my body, electric shocks every time I go over a bump on the road, have lost the ability to walk and falling over frequently, i don't care what the surgeon will do to me, as long as I stop feeling like I've been run over by a steam roller every day.
Should have known this video would be some sales orientated bull.
This really sucks, only 1 out of a 100 of these things will have truth, using the internet to do free advertising. this is why i have Back Problems, after bending over for 52 years believing stuff like this, its funny how all these people say the same things about their Surgeon, oh he is renown for all the NFL players across the world or ge and she are the Olympic Orthopedic Surgeon, Money, Greed, Power and in the end what do you get, a Signature scar to remind your self.
